I think the issue is the people. I see people go out spend the money get there butts spanked and then they quit cause it's to hard. It took me around 6 months to get a win on a competitive day at our track. I practiced alot the first 3 months and spent a weeks vacation at the track to get up to speed. I have now moved out of 19t and up to mod.Most people dont wanna put the time in or take on the challenge this sport is based upon. The guys in my office think it's stupid i take this so seriously but i tell them the rush from the compitition makes all that more fun. I told them they are welcome to try it and i would like to see them attempt it just so i can be like " you suck, so dont diss my r/c racing lol..... I told them if they can complete there first lap cleanly they can diss r/c all they want. THey still havent taken up the challenge.
